LECTURE ON "PALESTINE."

S£: R- S- H^ard, Incumbent of St. Matthews gave lm lecture last evening at S!^°nDSMen' S Fustian Association Mr ThcSSHf "ff T ladlti°ns °f Pa^stine!" of Wd theleCture several selection of Sacred music, such as "I will greatly Rejoice," and "There is a Spirit "The* rev lecturer informed his audience that his lecture was based upon the recent work on Palestine by an eminent architect, and was not, therefore, the result of his own observations. He had never been in the Holy Land, hence his discourse was, in a certain sense, second-harM. He was desirous, however, of picturing as faithfully as possible, the population of the present, and pointing out coincidences in connection with the past between the people of Palestine and those of the Hebrew race. Mr. Hassard then divided his lecture into sections. (1 ) Certain country customs of Palestine. (2 ) The town houses and the people living in them (.4 ) Stories and traditions. He then proceeded to describe and illustrate his themes m a very lucid and pleasant manner, quoting passages from the Old Testament and other authors in support of his subject, which, he trusted, would enable his hearers to read the Old Testament stories with greater interest, and increase rather than diminish their faith in the truths of Scripture. On the motion of the Rev. Gr. H. Turner, seconded by Mr. Ewington, a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to Mr. Hassard, who briefly acknowledged the compliment. The Benediction was then pronounced, and the meeting dispersed.
